Presentation Transcript
Homology by Dr. Subrata Giri
Introduction Homology refers to the similarity between biological structures or genes in different organisms due to shared ancestry. In plants, homology can be observed in various aspects, including morphological features, genetic sequences, and developmental pathways. These similarities provide evidence for common evolutionary origins and can help scientists understand the relationships between different plant species.
Significance - Reveals evolutionary relationships between plant species. - Provides insights into genetic conservation and function. - Aids in crop improvement and biotechnological applications. - Guides drug discovery and medical research. - Helps prioritize conservation efforts for plant species. - Enhances understanding of ecological roles and adaptations in plants.
